Progresif Raya Packet Design 2020
I was chosen as one of the 5 local Bruneian artists commissioned to create 2020's Hari Raya Packet Design.
The theme was 'Simpor' which is Brunei's National Flower.

To me, Hari Raya is all about visiting family and friends, different generations going to different Kampungs and seeing the colourful, decorated houses. It is very common to find Oriental-pied Hornbills perched outside your house in Brunei, as it is also common to see Simpor flowers lined along the roads and highways that lead you to your destination. The yellow Simpor flowers parallel the bright sun, giving life and happiness to all that it reaches.
I designed this year’s Raya packet with nature in mind. I believe this encapsulates the essence of Hari Raya where peace and harmony are in abundance that these majestic birds feel safe enough to greet us all with its presence. The artwork overall shows nature as prevalent as it surrounds our homes, further beautifying our landscapes. It is a sight to behold as it makes me proud to be living in such a nature rich country, a gift that we should never take for granted.
